Wells started in left field for the 66ers and batted second in their lineup. He flew out and grounded out in his first two at-bats and handled one fly ball his way on defense.

Wells drew a walk to lead off the fifth inning, went first to third on a single and scored on another single. He left the game for a defensive replacement in the bottom of the inning.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it was "feasible" Wells would need to play just two or three games for Inland Empire before rejoining the Angels and being activated from the DL. Wells has been out since May 9 with a groin injury and had hit just .183 for the Angels before that.
